1. Pass the end of the cuff (with sewn-in rubber
stopper) through the metal stirrup so that a
loop is formed. The Velcro closer must be
facing outwards.(Ignore this step if the cuff
has already been prepared.)
2. Push the cuff over the left upper arm so that
the tube points in the direction of the lower
arm and palm.
3. Lay the cuff on the arm as illustrated. Make
certain that the lower edge of the cuff lies
approximately 2 to 3 cm (3/4~1") above the
elbow and that the rubber tube leaves the
cuff on the inner side of the arm.
Important! The mark (about 3 cm long bar)
must lie exactly over the artery which runs
down the inner side of the arm.
4. Tighten the free end of the cuff and close the
cuff with the closer.
5. There must be no free space between the
arm and the cuff as this would influence the
result. Clothing must not restrict the arm.
Any piece of clothing which does (e.g. a
pullover) must be taken off.
6. Secure the cuff with the Velcro closer in
such a way that it lies comfortably and is
not too tight. Lay the arm on the table
(palm upwards) so that the cuff is at the
same height as the heart. Make sure that
the tube is not kinked.
HOW TO USE THE UPPER ARM CUFF
7. Remain seated quietly for two minutes
before you begin the measurement.
COMMENT:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it can also be placed on the right
arm. However all measurements should be made using the same arm for better
cross reference.
1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a
measurement. Also rest for at least 15 minutes before taking a reading.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful
times.
3. You would better apply the cuff on your left upper arm.
4. Measurement should be taken in a quiet place and you should be relaxed,
seated position. Rest your left arm on a table.
5. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
6. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse for your doctor. Remember,
a single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true
blood pressure. You need to take and record several measurements over a
period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day
for consistency. Blood pressure measurements fluctuate considerably.
7. Wait 5-10 minutes between successive measurements. Waiting allows the
engorged blood vessels to return to normal. You may require more rest time
depending on your individual physical conditions
